 The Murrays made Erlich and Ram work hard for their win |
Andy and Jamie Murray missed out on a first doubles title after suffering defeat in the Bangkok Open final. The brothers lost 6-2 2-6 10-4 to the experienced Israeli pairing of Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram.
Jamie Murray will climb into the ATP doubles top 100 and is closing on James Auckland's British number ranking.
The Murrays will play together again this week in the Japan Open in Tokyo, where they meet Americans Eric Butorac
and Travis Parrot in the first round.
Andy Murray is seeded fourth in the Tokyo singles and will face either Robin
Vik and Jiri Novak, having been handed a bye through to the second round.
